Sudan Liberation Movement/Army

The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) is a Sudanese rebel group active in Darfur, founded in 2002 by the African minorities who felt marginalized by Hassan al-Turabi's seizure of power. The Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit tribes formed the SLM/A with the goal of fighting against the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed militias, and it was one of the main factions during the War in Darfur.
